In order to reach the falls, you need to pass inside a thick forest with thriving wildlife and trek until you reach the hilltop. You’ll surely enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains while being kissed by the cool fresh air.

Relax with the calming effect of the flowing water or take a plunge into the natural swimming pool filled by the cool waters of Nagpana falls.

Nagpana Falls is a perfect getaway for anyone who wants to relax and free their minds. Many tourists, both local and foreign, visit Nagpana falls yearly.
